Since forming in 2007, the five-piece Morning Parade has produced consistent anthemic rock hits, capturing the imagination of a troop of fans, including Vogue and MTV. Currently enjoying a fizz of anticipation for their debut album Morning Parade (out at the end of the month), Mr Sparrow reveals just some of his all-time favourite tunes.

"You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like a Millionaire"

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE

"This always gets me fired up. If I had to save the world from a zombie invasion, I would choose this for my soundtrack."

"This was the first song I ever heard by Rufus and I was hooked. His way with words and metre is like no other. I love how he pulls you around with his twists and turns using melody, metre, chord progressions and clever word play."

"I am a huge fan of Radiohead, and every record holds something special for me. "Let Down" is one that I always come back to. The melody, the sentiment behind the song, the production and Thom's delivery on this recording are all in perfect sync."

"I love all of Grace [the album], but this is a song that has always stuck out for me. Lyrically, I think it's one of his finest moments and a great example of an artist getting to the heart of the matter. It's very open and honest, a true heartbreaker."
